Out for a Thanksgiving week jaunt of the clubs and concert halls, the Voice's Riffs reporter experienced not just Jimi Hendrix, but the Jefferson Airplane, Slim Harpo, and some “profoundly witty, imaginative Scottish folk music for the year 2001.”
“No tricks, just music, hard, lyric, joyous — pure and together, dense and warm as a dark summer country night. There’s the Dead, and then there’s everybody else.”
“Hendrix is unerring, his authority absolute. He had an off-night of his own Friday, but his off-nights are better than the best moments of most contemporary musicians. If he did make a mistake it would probably be the most exciting musical mistake of our time.”
